Lowers Lights Up

From dominating at Teahupo'o on Forget Me Nots, to throwing down some of the performances of the event so far at Trestles on his Air 17s, Jules' mid-year momentum looks unstoppable. Some of his go-to Air 17s in this new Lowers quiver are 6'0" x 18 3/4" x 2 3/8" x 28.2, geared with his signature FCS template in large. Photo Ryan Miller

While Fred rode a 6'2" Forget Me Not in almost everything at solid JBay, the range of conditions so far at Lowers have him reaching for the same Monsta 6 in his slightly thicker/wider shortboard dims - 6'0 1/2" x 19" x 2 7/16" x 28.7L (he's 6'1" / 81kg). Photo Ryan Miller

Like most of the team, as Lowers gets bigger and better Ace is sticking with his favourite all-rounder. Right now, it's a HYFI Monsta 6, and it's giving that razor sharp backhand even more spring than ever before. Photo Trevor Moran
Just like his shortboard in HYFI that he used on the way to making the final in Brazil, this Monsta 6 in our new tech is Ace's go-to so far in California - 5'10" x 18 5/8" x 2 5/16" x 25.5L (he's 5'9" / 76kg). Photo Ryan Miller
